We are currently offering the VR experiences below, but check back as we will be adding new experiences periodically!

Oculus Dreamdeck

Dreamdeck transports you to impossible places and magical worlds.

Discovery VR

The Discovery Channel brings you DiscoveryVR taking you to new worlds like never before– from shark-infested shipwrecks to freeboarding the windiest street in the world.

First Contact

Experience the magic of ‘presence’ in VR, exploring moments that feel as real as they are fantastically impossible. Explore a magic box full of toys and a robot guide; make a new friend, then touch, tap, bounce, hold, throw things, and play together.

Face Your Fears

Face Your Fears will scare you, creep you out, or cause your jaw to drop in awe and amazement. Some of these experiences are terrifying, some fun and spooky, and some are simply mysterious!

Aircar

Experience an immersive flying experience as you pilot a spaceship through a futuristic world.

Spider-Man: Homecoming

Suit up as Spider-Man and see what it's like to be the world's favorite superhero. Learn the ins and outs of your brand new Stark Industries upgraded web shooters and master different web types as you race to complete fast-paced targeting trials - but you'll have to learn quickly...The Vulture is on the loose and coming for you.

Star Wars: Droid Repair Bay

In Star Wars: Droid Repair Bay, Poe Dameron's sidekick needs your help. Repair BB-8 and his astromech droid friends, each with their own unique personalities, so they can roll back into the fight against the First Order. Aboard General Leia's ship in the depths of space, you'll need to work quickly before battle breaks loose just outside the droid repair bay.

Star Wars: Trials on Tatooine

Be transported to the desert world of Tatooine, repair the iconic Milennium Falcon, and defend the plucky droid hero R2-D2 from incoming Stormtroopers in this captivating experience set after the events of Return of the Jedi.

The Walkabout

Easily teleport around to explore every inch of this large photorealist world. Look out over the ocean from a mountain top, rest in a meadow, climb on the rocks or get wet down by the shoreline. Relax and escape while listening to an all original electronic score. Get away from the real world and enjoy this digital meditation.
